Turning Red One Shots (Completed)

99 Australian Tour

Mei remembered when Miriam gave her the 99 Australian Tour CD with the "Girl I love your Jeans" remix on it. It made her love for her best friend bloom since her love for 4*town was through the roof. She's been listening to it all day and night for months now. It was the final week of school and she was in her room, humming along to the songs while doodling in her notebook. Not Devon this time, she wasn't risking that.

She tapped her foot on the ground to match with the beat as her pencil scratched along the paper in her notebook. Her phone buzzed and she flipped it out of her pocket, a text from Miriam.

Hey girl! Gonna need the CD back tomorrow, thanks!

Mei frowned at the text, she loved the CD but she knew she couldn't keep it forever. She had dragged it out as long as she could but I guess Miriam found out.

Yeah, of course, Mir!

Mei shut her phone and put it on her desk next to her notebook. She looked inside her notebook and smiled at the doodles of Robaire. She then looked at her Tamagotchi, Robaire Jr.

"Can't believe Mir actually took care of him for me," She reached over and grabbed her Tamagotchi, staring at the little buttons.

"For me," She breathed out. Shaking her head, she put Robaire Jr down and turned back to her doodles. She was just being nice Mei, don't get it in your head! Mei grunted and shook her head to clear it.

"Just being nice," She continued doodling but her mind wasn't turned off just yet. The Tamagotchi, 4*town, Devon (for a split second), Robaire, and even Miriam were on her mind. The thought of Miriam made her slightly upset because she knew she had to return the CD.

"Mei Mei! Time for lunch!"

"Coming!" Mei shouted back to her mother. She pulled her chair out and pushed it against the desk. She put her doodles that were on ripped-out pages in her notebook. She cleaned up her desk and put her pencils back in the container.

"Mei Mei!" Mei gasped softly and bumped against her desk. She hissed and rubbed her side before lifting her head.

"I'm coming!" She subconsciously shoved her notebook to the edge of the desk and went off to join her family at lunch. It wasn't anything special, just a sandwich but Mei agreed to eat lunch with her family since Ming said she felt a little distanced from Mei. Mei didn't feel that way but she wanted to make sure her mother was ok so she promised to eat with her.

During lunch, she caught her mother up on her life and told her about how the school week is starting tomorrow.

"Thanks for lunch!" Mei said after she finished eating and went back to her room. She closed her door and went back to her desk. That lunch, Ming asked her a lot of questions about her friends and it tired Mei out. As a result, Mei spread her arms out and leaned her head on the desk. However, her head jolted up when she heard a shattering sound.

"No, please don't be the picture frame of 4*town!" Mei bent down and picked up her notebook, holding it vertically so she can see where the glass would fall out. To her horror, no glass fell out but pieces of what seemed to be a CD. She dropped the notebook and covered her mouth, her eyes widened.

"No... no no no," Reality coming back to her, she picked up her notebook and flipped to the page where the CD was. Sure enough, it was shattered into pieces. She looked around and saw no other CD on her desk.

That was the 99 Australian Tour that Miriam lent to her. And she just broke it.

"No no no! Mir is gonna kill me! This is ancient stuff!"

"Not as ancient as our red panda history," Jin piped up outside her room door. He chuckled and Mei forced a chuckle so he would go away.

"I'm so dead," Mei dropped to the ground and decided to text Priya and Abby to meet up.
